What distinguishes it from the R is “surplus”, for example? In both cases it’s followed by a P and another semiglide.
Apologies if this pronunciation is regional to the Western Hemisphere, but I’m very curious regardless.

I’m Californian and I don’t pronounce the R. I also don’t pronounce the L in “salmon”, or the L in “yolk.”
